29APR2020

Updated the .W command in the alias file to ensure compatibility with vERAM/vSTARS.

Command Reference Page updated to change the "Works With" column to to include vSTARS/vERAM as appropriate. By default, all commands work with VRC. EuroScope is not supported at all by ZLC. NOTE: ZLC is in the process of creating official vSTARS and vERAM files.

28APR2020

SECTOR

New airways updated

Fixed the random line that went off to a completely unrelated fix in the airways for each airway.

ALIAS

Draw-Airways commands updated

.RFD and .TRFD commands updated to insert the controllers callsign form the POF file and the frequency as appropriate.

Fixed commands relating to time such as .TPDC, .RA and .RFD to ensure vERAM compatibility.

27APR2020

ZLC has begun the process of rebuilding the ZLC Alias, Sector and POF Files. The first phase of this project is complete with a new Alias File and Sector file Diagrams.

As with any large restructor of a system, there are likely oversights and errors with this transition. If you find any errors, we urge you to report them via the ZLC FEEDBACK FROM CONTROLLERS page.

ALIAS FILE:

The ISR system for a procedure in the DEL phase of flight now returns the Departure Frequency found on that departure procedure so that it may not have to be issued to the pilot if that is the frequency that will be in use for departure.

Removed RWY and Transition specific .TCRAFT commands

Added procedure commands that are specific to the arrival airport landing direction to APP and CTR Text-To-Pilot commands, no longer just for SLC

Command Reference page and ISR CBT has been updated to reflect these changes.

SECTOR FILE:

Sector File is now more organized for the Facility Engineer department to keep up to date with new changes to procedures.

Our old method for parsing the FAA data to find new procedures and removing old procedures was flawed. That method has been updated and we hope to keep things a little more up to date from this point on.

25APR2020v3 (AIRAC 2005)

25APR2020v2

25APR2020

Pre-Departure Clearance CBT has been updated to include the following for clarification:

Issue a PDC to the pilot that has filed an IFR flight plan the moment it is available. You do NOT have to wait for the pilot to request a clearance for a PDC be issued.

21APR2020

New command: .OBSVIS to be used by those signed in as Observers and wish to see the entire ARTCC. This takes into account the 300nm visibility limit for observers. Those signed in as CTR should use .CTRVIS and use a 400nm visiblity.

Updated .KSUNC command. Now works.

Updated .SLCD35C command. Now works.

Updated the .NAVLWT command to reflect the new frequency and kept a note in parentheses concerning the old frequency that some pilots may still have in their simulator database. LWT 115.45 (<2004 AIRAC-112.00) LEWISTOWN VOR/DME

Updated the ZLC Hold Tracking log to automatically highlight EFCs that are about to expire.

Turns Yellow when EFC is 6-10min away

Turns Red when EFC is 1-5min away

Turns Dark Red when EFC is the current time or past

17APR2020

Fixed the .TIPS command to not send to the pilot. The .TTIPS command will still send to the pilot.

Any Notices that apply to any traffic within ZLC ARTCC jurisdiction must be complied with, when possible.

16APR2020

The LOA Quick Reference Page has been updated to include a clickable hyperlink on all STARS so the controller may quickly find the current version of the STAR.

NOTE: The DEN routing has been updated for the new AIRAC 2004 however the actual LOA will be updated soon.

14APR2020 v3

.CTRVIS command now includes KSLC, KBOI, KBZN, and KBIL. To see all of ZLC airspace and required outside out boundary area, increase your visibility to 400nm from 300nm. (ZLC VRC Scope Setup pt 1 has been updated accordingly)

14APR2020 v2

Minor update to the Alias file PDC section. The update changes the requirement for a pilot that has questions about the PDC to CTC APPROPRIATE CLNC DEL WITH QUESTIONS instead of GND CTRL.

14APR2020

The PDC commands have been updated to send in a different format to the pilot (most noticeably in an ALL-CAPS format). There is NO change in the syntax, and therefore no change in operations.

10APR2020

The .CTRVIS command now will set the visibility points as KBOI, MLS, KSLC, and KBZN.

07APR2020v3

07APR2020v2

General Controlling Directives > Position Assumption & Relief

Change: If relieving a controller that is currently signed onto the network with the standard callsign format, the relieving controller (regardless of position) will now use the last number of the sector designation (ID) followed by an "R". Position / Frequency Info page updated to display the relieving callsign for clarity.

Added note: There are times when the relief callsign matches another sectors relief callsign. These times will be extremely rare. In thise cases, consult with the Controller-In-Charge (CIC) to determine the best course of action.

KBOI

Added the following arrival information to the BOI (Big Sky) Approach facility directive and to the .(STAR)APP ISR commands. New ZLC Alias File Released

Fixed discrepancies between the ISR returns and the Facility Directives.

Added a note: The idea is to assign the southern RWY for STARS ending on the southern side respective to KBOI. Same goes for the northern side.

07APR2020

Edited the ZLC VRC Scope Setup pt.1 CBT to include a requirement for members to input the following information into the Controller ATIS Info box: For Questions, Concerns, to Leave Feedback or find Tips For Pilots visit RC.ZLCARTCC.COM

01APR2020

ZLC WORKSTATION BATCH FILE UPDATED

This BATCH File now will not try to start AFV, vATIS, or DISCORD if not installed on your computer.

You are no longer required to have your programs located in the default directory!

The file now will prompt you for the location of a program if it can't find it in the default directory, it will then save that location for future uses of the BATCH File. This is done by creating a folder in your Documents directory.

Added: HELP option for those that have questions or for basic troubleshooting.

19MAR2020

Unfortunately, the 28FEB2020 update to the ZLC Dropbox system was found to be faulty and we have had to revert back to adding each members' Dropbox email to the shared folder in order for every member to live updates. Here is what needs to be done by you:

You have sent the ZLC DATM your dropbox email address - You have nothing to do. You are still getting updates as necessary.

You used the single link access to add the ZLC Public folder to your Dropbox - You need to delete the current ZLC PUBLIC folder in your dropbox, then complete the ZLC Dropbox Setup CBTs to get the most up to date files for ZLC. RC > Computer Based Training > Orientation.

TEST TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE RECEIVING UPDATES:
If you wish, contact the DATM and we will setup a test

18MAR2020 (ARTCC Policy Manual Update)

The “ARTCC Policy Manual” is ZLC's most important document. This document has been significantly updated and requires all Home and Visiting controllers to review it and become compliant with all directives as soon as practical. The ARTCC Policy Manual is found on the ZLC Resource Center under the Change Log.

The following is a list of topics that were significantly updated but does not substitute the requirement to read the document:

General grammar, typos, and formatting changes for clarity.

Defined: ZLC Operational Publications.

Requirement added for members to use the the most up to date ZLC Operational Publications.

Clarification concerning use of official ZLC communications and coordination methods.

Further clarification added concerning when the ZLC Change Log is required to be reviewed.

All three old files are deleted (You need to delete the shortcuts you have made to them). It is now a single BATCH File that will open all four Radar Clients.

All website links are now opened via the users default browser.

A new website added: The Real World ZLC Pre-Duty Weather Briefing (video) that the real world ZLC controllers are required to watch prior to every shift. vZLC ARTCC is NOT making this mandatory to watch but it is there for those who wish to utilize it.

The BATCH File now opens EuroScope as a fourth radar client option.

08MAR2020

Note: If you currently do have not the VORs displayed on your scope, then no action is required of you. However, if you do have the VORs displayed, copy/past to complete the following command: .fv EPH BTG LAS BLD RSK HBU DBL LAR CYS COE PUW MQG PSC ALW DSD LKV LMT AHC HZN TQQ MMM UTI PGA DVC OAB RIL RWL GCC LEM MOT VLN YYN YQL YYC YXC (enter).

28FEB2020

General

ZLC will begin pushing updates to facility files out more frequently as smaller updates are completed. It is highly suggested for all members to utilize the Automatic Update system via Dropbox Local Installation to your computer in order to stay up to date with facility files.

General Controlling Directive Updated

"ATIS Updates" section has been changed to just "ATIS" and has been updated to include directives concerning the use of ZLC vATIS Files and ATIS standards (soon to be released).

Added a “ZLC Facility Files” section concerning a requirement for all ATC to utilize the most up to date Facility Files available, along with guidance for modification of ZLC Files.

The ZLC Dropbox Live Update system has now become shareable via a single access link.

If you currently are subscribed to the Automatic update system, there is nothing different you need to do.

If you currently utilize the local download method, revisit the Downloads page > Resources on the Resource Center for instructions on how to get your updated ZLC files from now on. (Again... Highly suggested to discontinue this method and utilize the Automatic update system.)

Computer Based Training

In preparation for ZLC Support of vATIS files, a new CBT has been added to clarify the standard use for ZLC vATIS features such as Pre-Defined Messages. It can be found at RC > Computer Based Training > Orientation

Updated the orientation CBTs concerning VRC and Dropbox Setup for new in-processing members.

16FEB2020

12FEB2020

Added a command to open the users default browser to the FAA JO Oder 7110.65. ".65"

Fixed broken FAA Chart Recall commands for KJAC airport.

The .RUGGD2C command has been added so that the user may now open the second page of the RUGGD Departure.

The .ROFFA command has been updated to a more streamline webpage to be opened.

Added LLC to the .VORs command.

Note: If you currently do have not the VORs displayed on your scope, then no action is required of you. However, if you do have the VORs displayed, complete the following command: .FV LLC (enter). From this point on, the .VORS command will display it and remove it from your screen.

Moved the .NAV NAVAID Code command to the Phraseology & General Help section of the Command Reference page for organizational purposes.

This command now works in reverse. If the user knows how to spell the NAVAID name but needs to know the NAVAID code, the user enters the spelled out name instead of the three letter NAVAID code.

Removed the .CALLSIGN command that would open the controllers' default browser to the FlightAware page telling the controller what the Telephony of the entered three letter code is.

Replaced the old .CALLSIGN command with a new ISR. The format of the new command is a simple .id (no space) (3 letter code or spelled out telephony of the carrier) (enter). What will return is the 3LD and the telephony of what was entered. Check the Command Reference Page for more details. RC > Radar Software > Phraseology & General Help > (last entry)

Note: Virtual Airlines will be included as more feedback is sent to admin. For more information, reference the Command Reference Page note #22.

4FEB2020

Significant changes made to the ZLC/ZOA Letter of Agreement (LOA). The LOA Quick Reference page has been updated accordingly but does not cover all material found within the full LOA.

2FEB2020

Removed from the Scatchpad use directive: "Note- the direction fo FF or NFF is not required in the ScrachPad when the destination airport is known via the flight strip data."

The direction of flight is still required in the scratchpad for a VFR departure even if the destination airport is known.

Removed from the General Controlling directive: "If the pilot makes a request for flight following/radar services to an airport or tells the controller their desired arrival airport with a cruising altitude, the ATC may assume the pilot wishes to have flight following/radar services. If the pilot only requests a VFR departure and arrival airport, it is assumed the pilot does not want flight following/radar services."

31JAN2020

Removed the Vectors to Final directive in the General Controlling Directive in order to reduce redundancy. The previous intent of the directive was to clarify a general concept with certain rules associated with vectoring aircraft safely around terrain/obstacles. These concepts will be taught during controllers basic radar vectoring training.

08DEC2019

In anticipation for updated radar/non-radar converge areas and future ZLC procedures concerning fields within non-radar coverage areas we have added the .LT command in the GROUND-TO-GROUND COMMUNICATIONS section of the Command Reference page. This command should be available on the next alias file release (AIRAC 1913). This command sends the current time as the "Landed Time" for an aircraft to the selected controller.

This will be relevant at a later time when an IFR arrival lands at a field that does not have RADAR coverage that reaches within 1/2 mile of the runway end. These fields will require ATC to provide non-radar separation once an aircraft is on approach to that field until the TWR controller sends the controller providing approach services a landed time for the arrival aircraft. Course material and procedures for these type of updates are currently in the works.

06DEC2019

SLC VFR DEPARTURES

Clarifying information such as examples for how Clearance Delivery and Local Control are to handle a VFR Departure has been added to the KSLC Facility Directive. Any questions should be forwarded to the ATM or DATM.

The .PO and .HO commands have been arranged to align with the 7110.65 format for these type of coordination. The command .APREQ has been added to the command reference page under Ground to Ground communications. These updates will be available on the next alias release.

The following has been added to The General Controlling Directive, General Section.

Flight Following / Radar Services

Do not solicit a flight following request from pilots. If the pilot makes a request for flight following/radar services to an airport or tells the controller their desired arrival airport with a cruising altitude, the ATC may assume the pilot wishes to have flight following/radar services. If the pilot only requests a VFR departure and arrival airport, it is assumed the pilot does not want flight following/radar services.

All flight following aircraft will be assigned the appropriate scratchpad for the requested service per the Scratchpad Use Directive.

Terminate radar services without a pilot request in the following manner:

Class B Field departure not requesting radar services: Once outside of the Mode-C Veil.

Class C Field departure not requesting radar services: Once 20 miles from the primary airport.

TRSA Field departure with a request for TRSA/Radar Services: If the pilots does not wish to continue radar services, terminate radar services once outside of the TRSA airspace..

22APR2019

GENERAL

Corrected the example screenshot example for the ZLC Dropbox Setup pt.1 CBT in the Orientation section. The emails displayed for ATM/DATMs were old addresses and are no longer monitored. Please resubmit your requests if you used those older email addresses and never got a response.

20APR2019v2

ALLIAS CHANGES

New alias files available via the Dropbox live update system or local download.

For some time now, some material that could be found in the Local Control Facility Directive Quick Reference could not be found in the Facility Directive itself. Most changes were simply a transfer of that data and will not be mentioned per item here.

Clarification added to Local section for accepting radar handoffs from approach control only if the airport has full radar capability and if the controller has a radar endorsement.

Added the variable of "When Appropriate”, to DEL issuing ATIS data to pilots. This is for times when DEL never speaks to the pilot such as when a PDC was issued, or when no ATIS is broadcasting.

Corrected terminology for Local section concerning Missed approach/Go-Around's. Previous wording suggested that a pilot on a visual approach would be expected to fly the Missed Approach procedure.

COMPUTER BASED TRAININGs (CBT)

Added instructions to the ZLC DISCORD SETUP CBT on how to run Discord in Admin Mode to prevent issues with using PTT for it while your controlling software is open.

PROCEDURE

Updated the Position Assumption/Relief Directive briefing procedure to have the monitoring stage last 3min instead of the previous 2min.

Added the practice of stating when the monitoring session is complete.

3APR2019
The Local Control Facility Directive Quick Reference Pages received an overhaul today. The Facility Directives will be updated soon, along with the Approach/EnRoute directives and quick reference pages. FDQR CBT Updated - https://rc.zlcartcc.com/tiki-index.php?page=CBT_main

All QR Pages:

Revised layout to provide a smoother and more comprehensive look.

A “General Overview” section has been added at the very top of the page that includes things such as Telephony Designation of the field, Airspace Class, Radar mode, RR/DNM status, ASDE-X status, PDC status.

Separated data for DEL, GND, and TWR similar to the ISR system and the Facility Directive format.

The ODP section now is in a table format just like the SID section

Many missing ODP info sections were added to multiple facilities

Standard Runway assignments and “Parking Terminals” provided in the GND section where applicable. (As of this update, only KSLC airport has this information, other facilities will be updated with this data at a later time)

Because of this new format, the .xxxIFR and .xxxVFR commands will no longer work.

KBOI QR

Added GOWEN DP to ODP section with a note concerning the restriction of ATC issuing this departure without pilot request.

KBZN QR

Added SID assignments per direction in the “Notes” section of the SID table.

KHLN and KTWF QR

Removed Vectored heading assignments. Departure Control is a non-radar facility, therefore assigning headings to fly for radar vectors is pointless and not authorized.

Added a PDC section to the General Control Directive page, under "Clearance Delivery"

Pre-Departure Clearances (PDCs)

Utilization of PDCs are not optional if the Facility Directive allows their use. Proper use and familiarization with how to issue a PDC is a requirement for all controllers at ZLC.

ZLC recognizes the PDC system on VATSIM (by means of private message to the pilot) as a Controller-Pilot Data Link (CPDL) system. Real world FAA allows amended flight plan information to be cleared and issued by CPDL PDC.

Added a directive in the General Controlling Directive concerning how often controllers are expected to check and comply the change log. (prior to every controlling session/Prime of the frequency.)

5DEC2018

Clarification added to the General Controlling Directive concerning "Frequency and VOX Channel" format.

24NOV2018

New standard for Controller Info in the ATIS Maker menu. Please ensure your "Controller Info Template" of in the ATIS Maker has only the following information. For further details, Slide 18 of the ZLC VRC Scope Setup pt.1

This move will take place on Sunday 25NOV2018 at 23:59z. Until that time, TeamSpeak will still be used for all official ZLC voice communication needs.

All relevant materials have been updated including the old ZLC TeamSpeak Setup CBT has been replaced with a ZLC Discord Setup CBT

23NOV2018

ZLC Controllers now have the means to gain practical experience with custom ZLC Commands. This will help new and seasoned controllers become more fluent with these commands and help develop a muscle memory for the more commonly used commands without having to be connected to the network.

The practical training resources can be found on the Resource Center>Training Courses>Computer Based Training>Supplemental Training>ZLC Commands Practice

20NOV2018

Added a requirement for all students to schedule a session with an instructor after passing or failing the ZLC-Exam.

The SLC S56 Local and Terminal Facility Directives are not updated yet for 1806 data. However, the Local Directive Quick Reference and In-Scope References are updated for 1806. Another post will be made when the directives have been completed.

AIRAC 1806 comes with many changes. It is highly suggested that all controllers rated to control any position at KSLC/S56 review the new changes in detail, including review of the facility directives and quick references.

The new KSLC SIDs require DEL to issue just the SID and "Then as filed" with a "Maintain 10,000". TWR will issue the initial heading during takeoff clearance. DEP will radar ID the aircraft, vector to the appropriate waypoint/crossing restriction and "Climb Via SID".

GENERAL

The POF file will now instruct pilots to call a DEL position as "Clearance".

Added a command similar to .NAVAID but now it returns the text within the scope without having to leave to the default browser. Simply type .NAV and then the navaid code without any spaces and hit enter. Example: .NAVJAC Check the Command Reference for Detail.
